I’m struggling with a tenant in my Malibu house and have had problems since she moved in: 10 bounced checks, four mystery wires that she sent and then cancelled and dozens of lies, including several on her rental application.
Malibu is a highly desirable place and I’m sure this is common. I wonder if you have a complaints forum or a way to alert your readership to beware of tenants like this?
A real problem is that rents are high and failure to pay a homeowner for months with consistently bounced checks cause me/us to bounce our checks to our partners.
Malibu has good, free public schools and everybody wants to live the Malibu lifestyle. However, a growing number of them can’t afford it and drag the homeowners through the mud with their callous behavior.
Maybe there’s a way to work together and create a column with fact-based complaints against rogue tenants.
